“In tlOkeh, in nAhuakeh, yuh timo-mAzpilhuAn.”
(We are like the fingers on a hand: each one different, each one pointing in its own direction, but together we function and create incredible things.)
Because Experiencia is a living organism. It retreats, it blooms, it transforms. And so do we. We learn from every person who arrives, from every challenge, from every achievement… and from every silence.
That is the essence of Experiencia
48 years ago, that dream began to take shape through a man who believed in education as a bridge between cultures: Licenciado en Psicología Arturo Ballinas, founder of Experiencia Cuernavaca, a visionary who planted the seed of something much greater than a school.
48 years in México & 15 years in Puerto Escondido
The foundation and the present
The campuses of yesterday, like Cuernavaca, Cancuncito, Tepoztlán, El Adoquin remain alive in the memories of those who passed through their classrooms. The campuses of today, like this one in Puerto Escondido, continue planting seeds with every smile, every class, every wave surfed. And we have faith that new spaces, new experiences, and new generations will come.
